CAIRNGORMS - CHALAMAIN GAP

wycieczka dosc spontaniczna - po pierwsze mialysmy jechac do walii a po drugie zdecydowalysmy sie jechac do aviemore tylko dlatego ze miala jechac duza grupa ludzi... no ostatecznie pierwszego dnia bylysmy w 4 a potem juz tylko we dwie. oczywiscie nie zalujemy :) zrobilysmy sobie dluuugi weekend w aviemore (spanie w 'tipsy laird hostel' kingussie). pogoda nas nie rozpieszczala pierwsze dwa dni, potem juz bylo tylko lepiej. i tak: dojechalysmy w sobote rano z wielkim planem podboju munrosow, ale w kingussie przywital nas deszcz wiec postanowilysmy zrobic sobie rozgrzewke na czyms mniejszym. mialo byc 'niezobowiazujaco', ale ostatecznie szlak okazal sie calkiem sensowny (poza tym ze bylo obrzydliwie mokro momentami i zalalo sciezke a potem musialysmy sie przebijac po kostki w blocie przez wrzosowisko).
a wiec trasa pierwszego dnia to:
parking przed bathaich fionndag (droga do cairmgorm) - chalamain gap- dookola creag a'chalamain i castle hill- rothiemurchus lodge -coire buidhe- eag a'chait- parking
.
.
the trip was quite spontaneous, first of all we planned to go to wales! oh well :) we decided to go to aviemore because there was a large group of people going (but after all they withdrew) and first day it was 4 of us, later just me and bea. no regrets, of course. so, we had a long weekend in aviemore (nights at 'tipsy laird hostel' kingussie). weather was so-so for first 2 days, on the third one was quite not bad :)
we arrived to kingussie on saturday morning and it was spitting, so we decided to leave munros for later and start with a 'not too long warm up' walk somewhere low. at the end of the day the walk was pretty good (except of a fact that it was really wet sometimes and the path was under water sometimes ..and later we had to go thru really wet moorland..) adventures :)
so, on saturday we did:
car park at bathaich fionndag - chalamain gap- around creag a'chalamain and castle hill- rothiemurchus lodge -coire buidhe -eag a'chait -car park
